About this study
Official title: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Multi-Center Study Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Genz-112638 in Gaucher Type 1 Patients
Gaucher disease is a genetic disease that results in a deficiency of an enzyme acid beta-glucosidase, also known as glucocerebrosidase. This enzyme is needed to digest a substrate (lipid) called glucosylceramide and, to a lesser degree, glucosylsphingosine. In participants with Gaucher disease, the liver, spleen, bone marrow and brain show increases in lipid concentration, specifically in cells derived from the monocyte/macrophage system.
Eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) is an oral drug that may regulate the Gaucher disease process by decreasing the synthesis of glucosylceramide. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of eliglustat tartrate, administered as an oral dose of either 50 milligram (mg) twice daily (BID) or 100 mg BID, to men and women with Gaucher disease Type 1 for 52 weeks.
Read the detailed description
This study consists of several phases: screening (-28 to -1 days), dose adjustment/treatment (Day 1 [treatment baseline] to Day 30), initial steady-state treatment (post-Day 30 through Week 52 post-baseline), a treatment interruption period (Week 52 through approximately Week 54), long-term steady-state treatment (approximately Week 54 through study completion), and safety follow-up (30 to 37 days after a participant withdraws from or completes the study). The Primary Analysis Period is from baseline through Week 52. The Extension Period is from Week 52 through study completion (that is, participant withdrawal, the study is terminated, eliglustat tartrate becomes commercially available, or where applicable, specific regulatory requirements have been met).

Eliglustat tartrateDrug
Also called Genz-112638
Eliglustat (Genz-112638) capsule as single 50 mg dose on Day 1 then eliglustat 50 mg twice daily (BID) from Day 2 to Day 19, then either eliglustat 50 mg BID (if Genz-99067[active moiety of eliglustat in plasma] trough plasma concentration was greater than or equal to [>=]5 nanogram per milliliter [ng/mL] on Day 10) or eliglustat 100 mg BID(if Genz-99067 trough plasma concentration was less than [<] 5 ng/mL), from day 20 to Year 4. After primary completion date (Week 52) participants underwent treatment interruption period of approximately 2 weeks before continuing same treatment through study completion (Year 9). Participant receiving 100 mg BID could be considered for further dose increase to 150 mg BID at Week 24 if they met certain criteria (for example, had been on treatment for at least 24 months, had not reached therapeutic goals established for participants receiving Cerezyme, and if all other causes for lack of treatment effect had been evaluated and ruled out).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Demonstrating A Meaningful Clinical Response
A meaningful clinical response was defined as an improvement in at least 2 of the 3 main efficacy parameters: a) an increase in hemoglobin of greater than or equal to (>=) 0.5 gram/deciliter from baseline, b) an increase in platelets of >=15 percent (%) from baseline, c) reduction in total spleen volume of >= 15% from baseline. As hemoglobin, platelets, total spleen volume were abnormal at baseline, within each participant, only those parameters were used in the evaluation of meaningful clinical response which were abnormal at baseline.

Change From Baseline in 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) Health Survey Scores at Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 at End of Study
The SF-36 questionnaire, version 2, investigates the participant's health-related quality of life (HRQL). It is a 36-item questionnaire measuring 8 domains (physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health). Each domain score ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), with higher scores reflecting best health-related quality of life. Two summary scale scores were computed from the 8 domain scores: the Physical Component Summary and the Mental Component Summary. Score range for both summary scale ranges from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), with higher scores reflecting best health-related quality of life.
Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study (Up to Year 9)
Change From Baseline in Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) Scores at Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study
The FSS is an instrument consisting of 9 self-administered questions that measures the impact of severity of fatigue symptoms on everyday functioning, based on the recall over the past week. Score range for each question ranges from 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum), where higher score indicates greater severity. FSS total score was calculated by averaging the results of all questions. Total FSS score ranges from 9 (minimum) to 63 (maximum), where higher scores indicates greater severity.
Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study (Up to Year 9)
Number of Participants With Bone Pain Levels During the Past 4 Weeks at Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study
Bone pain was assessed as a part of Gaucher disease assessment in participants. Participants were categorized as none (no bone pain), very mild bone pain, mild bone pain and moderate bone pain. In this outcome, number of participants with different levels of bone pain at specified time points were reported.
Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study (Up to Year 9)
Number of Participants With Mobility Status (MS) at Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study

Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study (Up to Year 9)
Number of Participants With No Bone Crisis at Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study
Bone crisis was assessed as a part of Gaucher disease assessment in participants. Acute, excruciating episodic bone pain is characteristic of Gaucher bone crisis, which typically causes debilitation lasting several days or longer and requires treatment with immobilization, hydration, and opioid analgesics. Participants were categorized as 0= no bone crisis, 1= 1 bone crisis, and 2= 2 bone crises during the assessment period. In this outcome, number of participants with 0= no bone crises levels at specified time points were reported.
Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study (Up to Year 9)
Bone Marrow Infiltration: Number of Participants With Improvement From Baseline in Dark Marrow at Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8 and at End of Study (EOS)
Bone marrow infiltration assessments were designed to evaluate improvements in dark marrow using MRI. Each MRI assessment was performed for both femurs and consisted of reviewing 6 different zones (the femoral head, greater trochanter, intertrochanteric region, shaft, distal metaphysis, and condyles). MRI images recorded dark marrow for each zone as either present or not present at baseline. In this outcome, number of participants (for whom dark marrow was present at baseline) with improvement from baseline in dark marrow at each specified time point were reported.
Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8 and at End of Study (up to Year 9)
Lumbar Spine and Femur T-Scores for Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study
Images of the lumbar spine and femur were obtained by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to determine T-score for each bone area and total bone mineral density. T-scores compares participant's bone density with that of healthy young participant of same gender. The T-score bone density categories were: normal (score >-1), osteopenia (score -2.5 to <=-1), and osteoporosis (score <= -2.5).
Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study (up to Year 9)
Lumbar Spine and Femur Z-Scores for BMD at Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study
Images of the lumbar spine and femur were obtained by DXA to determine Z-score for each bone area and total bone mineral density. The Z-score bone density categories are: normal (score >-2) and below normal (score <=-2).
Measured: Baseline, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6, Year 7, Year 8, Year 9 and at End of Study (up to Year 9)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Gaucher disease is a genetic disease that results in a deficiency of an enzyme acid beta-glucosidase, also known as glucocerebrosidase. This enzyme is needed to digest a substrate (lipid) called glucosylceramide and, to a lesser degree, glucosylsphingosine. In participants with Gaucher disease, the liver, spleen, bone marrow and brain show increases in lipid concentration, specifically in cells derived from the monocyte/macrophage system.
Eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) is an oral drug that may regulate the Gaucher disease process by decreasing the synthesis of glucosylceramide. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of eliglustat tartrate, administered as an oral dose of either 50 milligram (mg) twice daily (BID) or 100 mg BID, to men and women with Gaucher disease Type 1 for 52 weeks.
Detailed description
This study consists of several phases: screening (-28 to -1 days), dose adjustment/treatment (Day 1 [treatment baseline] to Day 30), initial steady-state treatment (post-Day 30 through Week 52 post-baseline), a treatment interruption period (Week 52 through approximately Week 54), long-term steady-state treatment (approximately Week 54 through study completion), and safety follow-up (30 to 37 days after a participant withdraws from or completes the study). The Primary Analysis Period is from baseline through Week 52. The Extension Period is from Week 52 through study completion (that is, participant withdrawal, the study is terminated, eliglustat tartrate becomes commercially available, or where applicable, specific regulatory requirements have been met).

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Demonstrating A Meaningful Clinical Response
Time frame: Baseline, Year 1
A meaningful clinical response was defined as an improvement in at least 2 of the 3 main efficacy parameters: a) an increase in hemoglobin of greater than or equal to (>=) 0.5 gram/deciliter from baseline, b) an increase in platelets of >=15 percent (%) from baseline, c) reduction in total spleen volume of >= 15% from baseline. As hemoglobin, platelets, total spleen volume were abnormal at baseline, within each participant, only those parameters were used in the evaluation of meaningful clinical response which were abnormal at baseline.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Eliglustat tartrate in people with Gaucher Disease, Type 1 and Cerebroside Lipidosis Syndrome, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 17 sites in 6 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 17 sites in Argentina, Israel, United States, Mexico, Russia and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Sep 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants Demonstrating A Meaningful Clinical Response (time frame: Baseline, Year 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00358150, which also lists 7 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Feb 2017.
